Juan M. Sarmiento MD, FACS

Juan M. Sarmiento, MD, FACS, who started practicing at Emory in 2003, is Associate Professor of Surgery in the Division of General and Gastrointestinal Surgery, the Department of Surgery at Emory University School of Medicine, and Director of Hepatopancreatic Biliary Surgery (HPB) at Emory University Hospital.

Dr. Sarmiento, an expert in liver, biliary tract and pancreas surgery, is one of a very few surgeons with such a commitment to HPB surgery. He has exclusive dedication to the field for the past twelve years. He received intensive training in HPB surgery for two years at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. The operations performed on these organs are technically demanding and the process to evaluate a patient has been streamlined as a product of a tight interaction with radiology and pathology.
